John le Carré Annotated Page From The Constant Gardener.

David John Moore Cornwell, better known by his pen name John le Carré, was a British-Irish author, best known for his espionage novels. During the 1950s and 1960s, he worked for both the Security Service (MI5) and the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). His book, 'The Constant Gardener' is a profoundly moving story of a man ennobled by tragedy, and a magnificent exploration of the dark side of unbridled capitalism by one of the most compelling and elegant storytellers of our time. The plot was based on a real-life case in Kano, Nigeria and was later adapted into the film of the same name directed by Fernando Meirelles and starring Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz.
